CAUTION
Never disconnect the charging cable from the
120-/240-volt socket while charging is in
progress. This could damage the socket.
Always stop the charging process (by unlock-
ing the vehicle) and disconnect the charging
cable from the vehicle's charging socket
before disconnecting the other end from the
120-/240-volt socket being used.
During the charging process, condensation may
form under the vehicle, which is normal and is
caused by cooling the hybrid battery.
